Product details
Overview
DS26524G+ from Maxim Integrated is a quad-channel T1/E1/J1 framer and line interface unit (LIU) IC supporting independent per-port configuration for long-haul and short-haul lines. It delivers 4× T1 (1.544 Mbps), E1 (2.048 Mbps), or J1 operation, integrated crystal-less jitter attenuation meeting ITU-T G.823 and ETSI ETR 12/13, and supports D4, ESF, G.704/CRC-4 framing - deployed in CSUs, DSUs, and telecom access switches.
For engineers reviewing the DS26524G+ datasheet, DS26524G+ pinout, DS26524G+ application, or DS26524G+ equivalent, key selection criteria include per-port framing flexibility (T1/E1/J1), software-selectable 75Ω/100Ω/110Ω/120Ω termination, receive-signal level indication (–2.5 dB to –44 dB), T1-to-E1 conversion capability, and H.100 (CT Bus) backplane interface compliance.
Technical Context
The DS26524G+ integrates four independent framer/LIU channels with dual-path crystal-less jitter attenuators compliant with ITU-T G.736, G.742, and G.823. Each channel supports selectable T1/E1/J1 line rates, framing (D4/SLC-96/ESF for T1; G.704/CRC-4 for E1), and signaling extraction/insertion via microprocessor or system interface.
Its clock architecture accepts external master clocks at multiples of 1.544 MHz or 2.048 MHz, internally adapting them for T1 or E1 usage in host mode. The device implements elastic stores, IBO multiplexing, and H.100 CT Bus compatibility for TDM backplane interconnect, with per-port LOS detection per G.775 and T1.231.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad T1/E1 framer/LIU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS36954G+ | Single-port T1/E1 framer/LIU; lacks multi-port integration, H.100 interface, and T1-to-E1 conversion | Targeted at low-density line cards or cost-sensitive point solutions requiring only one channel | Select DS26524G+ when four independent T1/E1 ports, backplane TDM support, and protocol conversion are required. |
| MAX5863ETM+ | Quad T1/E1 transceiver only (no framer); requires external framer or FPGA-based framing logic | Suitable for designs where framing is handled upstream (e.g., DSP or SoC), prioritizing analog LIU performance over integration | Choose DS26524G+ when full framer+LIU integration, embedded HDLC, and alarm processing are needed in one device. |
Compared with DS36954G+ and MAX5863ETM+, the DS26524G+ uniquely combines four complete framer/LIU channels, H.100 CT Bus interface, T1-to-E1 conversion, and crystal-less jitter attenuation - reducing system-level complexity and PCB area in multi-port telecom line cards.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for DS26524G+?
The DS26524G+ is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. This specification is confirmed in the official Maxim ordering information table, where DS26524G+ is explicitly listed with that temperature grade. It uses the same 256-ball TE-CSBGA package as the industrial-grade DS26524GN+ (–40°C to +85°C), but is screened and tested to meet the narrower commercial range. DS26524G+ is not qualified for extended temperature use.
Does DS26524G+ support both T1 and E1 framing simultaneously across its four ports?
Yes, DS26524G+ supports independent framing mode selection per port: any combination of T1 (D4, SLC-96, ESF), E1 (G.704 with CRC-4), or J1 can be configured concurrently. This per-port configurability is a core feature documented in the General Description and Features sections. Each channel's framer operates autonomously, enabling mixed-mode line cards - for example, two ports in T1 ESF mode and two in E1 CRC-4 mode - without hardware reconfiguration.
What termination impedances does DS26524G+ support, and how are they selected?
DS26524G+ supports 100Ω (T1 twisted pair), 110Ω (J1 twisted pair), 120Ω (E1 twisted pair), and 75Ω (E1 coaxial) line terminations. Selection is fully software-controlled via internal registers - no external resistors or solder jumpers are required. This capability is explicitly stated in the Features section and enables field-reprogrammable line interface adaptation, simplifying inventory management and design reuse across regional T1/E1/J1 deployments.
Is DS26524G+ compatible with H.100 (CT Bus) backplane interfaces?
Yes, DS26524G+ provides native H.100 (CT Bus) compatibility through its IBO[0:7] and IBI[0:7] interleave bus signals, elastic store buffering, and RSYNC/TSSYNCIO timing controls. The Functional Description section confirms H.100 support in subsection 8.8.3, and timing diagrams (Figures 8-6, 8-7) detail CT Bus synchronization behavior. This allows direct connection to legacy telecom switch fabrics without external glue logic or clock domain translators.
What jitter attenuation standards does DS26524G+ meet?
DS26524G+ meets ITU-T G.736, G.742, G.823, and AT&T Pub 62411 jitter attenuation requirements when its crystal-less jitter attenuator is enabled on either transmit or receive path. This is explicitly cited in the Features section and validated in the Specifications Compliance chapter. The attenuator operates without external VCXO or PLL components, delivering compliant performance across T1 and E1 data rates within the device's specified temperature and voltage ranges.
